Design Simulation (also known as Computer-Aided Engineering – CAE) encompasses two key domains: thermal analysis and structural stress. In the highly competitive electronics industry, simulation technology has become a critical enabler for product development. CAE methodologies play a pivotal role throughout the entire product realization process from conceptualization to physical products. We employ the following professional tools:
– Flotherm for thermal simulation analysis
– ANSYS/Multiphysics & LS-DYNA for structural simulation
CAE technology is integrated throughout the complete product development cycle from concept definition to product release, providing data-driven support for design optimization in material selection, durability, and reliability.
Motion Simulation enables us to:
– Evaluate product dynamic characteristics
– Verify motion performance under test conditions during early development stages
– Assess alternative design feasibility
– Conduct product demonstrations through kinematic part associations
Thermal Simulation establishes benchmark data for system and component competitiveness and performance. Through standardized CAE processes and well-defined simulation objectives, we can establish a database-driven benchmarking system and provide scientific basis for target parameter setting.
In general, tooling reduces the overall manufacturing cost of a product by producing acceptable parts at lowest cost. Thus, the tooling design will affect the quality of product design. Basically, we focus on Stamping dies and Plastics Injection dies since these two types of dies are major component manufacturing processes for our products. However, we also have experience in other types of component using Die Casting, Metal Injection Molding, etc. processes, which are covered by our tooling design team as well. In order to well manage the quality of tooling development, we have dedicated tooling engineers stationing in both China and Thailand.
Niu’s Tooling Dept. contains three territories (i.e. Tooling Development, Secondary Processes Verification and Material Application Study). We ensure tooling right at the first time to avoid costly modification cycles. Plastics injection dies section covers double injection (plastics + rubber, plastics + metal), insert molding (plastics + sheet metal + magnet). On the other hand, stamping dies section covers progressive dies and transfer dies. We convey the interface with our mechanical suppliers to extend our coverage. Consistently deliver quality tooling by DFM review to optimize mechanical design practices. Under current coverage (tooling + 2nd processes involvement + material application study), engineers can develop and share ideas, for boosting creativity, shortening the tooling manufacturing process and providing optimized solutions (component finishing and proper material adoption) to overcome product design challenges. Simultaneously, higher design efficiency drives higher product quality through streamlined and cost-effective tooling development process.
Industrial Design Dept, where we have Mini Camera Studio, 3D Printer, various Color Chips and Lighting Booth with Painting Shop. It provides following services. Idea Sketch – Employed at a personal level to quickly externalize concepts by using simple line-work. Study Sketch – Used to investigate appearance, proportion and scale in greater detail than an Idea Sketch; Referential Study : Used to record images of products, objects, and any relevant observations for future reference or as a metaphor; Scenario Study: Describes interactions between user and product under appropriate contexts; Sketch Rendering: Generates clearly defined proposal by controlled sketching and use of color/tone to enhance details and reality.
Design Simulation, also called Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), covers two sections which are thermal and structure stress. Simulation has become a key enabling factor for product development in the highly competitive electronic industry. CAE methods play a vital role in defining new product concepts from idea to empirical products. We utilize Flotherm for thermal simulation and ANSYS/Multiphysics & LS-DYNA for structure simulation where CAE methods are applied from the concept definition until product release to support concept finding and optimization in terms of material selection, durability and reliability.
Motion Simulation enables us to conduct dynamic characteristic, verify motion of a product under test condition in early stage, validate a substitute idea and hold a presentation of the product by associating all kinematic parts with each other. Thermal simulation provides benchmark of system and component competitiveness and performance. Through standardization of CAE process and clearly defined objectives in the simulation methodology, we can support database driven benchmarking and target value setting.
